  • LMHoF
What is it and how did it get started?

Lego Mecha Hall of Fame

During the summer of 2001, five active Mecha Builders got together to create
a showcase and archive of the worlds most cutting edge Lego Mecha designs.
These five Mecha Masters became known as the “Founders”.

An intensive search was begun all accross the world wide web. Mecha designs
from near and far were chosen as the best examples of this relativly new
building genre to be showcased in the first ever Lego Mecha Hall of Fame.

Our goal was to showcase the efforts and innovations of these fine builders.
Currently the LMHoF boasts over 30 inductees and over 100 Mecha designs within
the walls of the hall, located on the Brickshelf Gallery.

How do I do get inducted in to the hall?

If you are active and have an online presence especially of Brickshelf, we are watching.
